When it comes to charitable giving, it is our tradition to go above and beyond. We believe in giving back to the community we live and work in daily. Our employees play a huge part in making it all happen.
Whenever possible we contribute financial donations, volunteer time, and give resources to charitable and not-for-profit organizations. It is our pleasure to help improve the lives of others in our community. In the same way, we would like to encourage others. Charitable giving whenever we can throughout the year for special events and donation drives are an important part of who we are as a company.

2020 Holiday Season
Our 2019 holiday toy drive was a huge success! Thank you so much to all who gave generously. Similarly, we are donating toys again this year to fill the gaps for struggling families. Toys for all ages will be distributed through the Marillac St. Vincent’s House in Chicago. Marillac St. Vincent Family Services has been serving communities in need for over 100 years.
Secret Santa Letters
Presently, we are relieving some burdens from the stress of COVID19 by donating face masks and hand sanitizers in our community. Our emphasis is to partner with our employees, customers, friends, and family members during the 2020 holiday season to fill crucial requests from families in need. This year we are fulfilling over 500 Secret Santa letters from inner-city kids. In addition, each gift will include a fun custom-made school mascot face mask for each child. Packages will be delivered to their school the week before Christmas.
